new to the beach (kind of)

Hi everyone!
I've just (re)started the SBD as summer approaches and the holiday weight is still kicking around - but it's clearly no longer the festive season! It's day 3 of phase 1 for me right now and all is well so far. I don't weigh myself often but the clothes are already feeling better around the waist so that must be good news! This time (my 3rd SBD attempt) I am determined to stick it out and lose the weight, so I'm hoping these forums can help me stay focused and motivated. From the posts I've read so far it seems you are all really supportive!
thanks,
ellie
